Subject: [PATCH] build: Allow building without git executable

Most relevant when building from release tarball.
The meson script already allows to not be inside a git tree by falling
back to setting revision='' when git returns no revision.
Let's go one step further and set revision='' also when git is not found;
if this were a git clone, the system would likely have git installed.
